During the winter, the World’s Toughest Rodeo has a few performances in our neck of the woods. I was on the website right away and got some good front seats, which cost a bit more than I usually spent. Afterwards, I decided the “nicer” seats weren’t nice at all, since I had the arena gates in my photos and they got in the way all time. Geesh! Totally not worth it.
The girl was not a fan of getting dirt on her either. 😉
I also usually make the little man a new shirt. Not always, but this time it was definitely needed, as he has grown quite a bit since last year. It totally slipped my mind until later in the week, and my desk job has kept me quite busy this week. By the time Saturday rolled around, I knew that if I had to go to the fabric store it would be a no go. Luckily, I had a few fabrics that would work, and he chose the good ole stars and stripes.
It is very much a rodeo shirt.
It even had patriotic buttons on the cuffs.
I used the Oliver + S Sketchbook shirt, graded up from a 12 to a 16. Yep, that was a bit of grading for a collared shirt, but it fit him pretty well in the end.
His ‘serious’ look
It took about 3.5 hours from grading to getting it all sewn up, and he was a happy camper. All worth it!
